It included several Utah drivers and was a blast to watch. Admission was also <em>way<\/em> less than another recent open-wheel race in Sin City.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to race organizer DJ Hamilton, the $50,000 prize for the top Sprint Car was a record high. So it\u2019s not surprising that this was one of the largest gatherings of Unlimited Winged Sprint cars ever. Many of the best Sprint drivers in North America, and probably the world, came to compete.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Trophies-1024x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Trophies-1024x480.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Trophies-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Trophies-768x360.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Trophies-1536x719.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Trophies-2048x959.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Trophies-18x8.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The Winged Sprint features included C-main and B-main events.

Doing well in the B- or C-features could also advance a team.

First, a brand-new drive shaft turned out to be defective and kept Natalie from getting any useful practice on Thursday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was able to get a few laps in on Friday before the heat races. That session revealed that the engine wasn\u2019t putting out much power.

Supermods are possibly even more unique than Winged Sprints. They still have lots of wing, but the big V-8 engines are mounted on the left side of the car body, and canted outward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That engine position lowers the center of gravity and gives Supermods a 68-70% weight bias toward the left wheels. That works when you\u2019re almost constantly turning left at high speeds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BSR3Pits-1024x609.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BSR3Pits-1024x609.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BSR3Pits-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BSR3Pits-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BSR3Pits-1536x914.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BSR3Pits-2048x1218.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/BSR3Pits-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Bryan drove car #3 himself. Meanwhile, he put Colorado\u2019s Cris Muhler in #95 and legend Kenny Hamilton, from Boise, ID behind the wheel of #4U.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenny Hamilton is fascinating to talk to. He\u2019s been racing since 1964 and is in Knoxville\u2019s Sprint Car Hall of Fame. He and Bryan also have a long racing history together. Kenny is well known for his Pink Lady vehicles. In fact, Meridian Speedway\u2019s Pink Lady Classic race is named after him and his cars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PinkLadySupermod-1024x603.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PinkLadySupermod-1024x603.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PinkLadySupermod-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PinkLadySupermod-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PinkLadySupermod-1536x904.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PinkLadySupermod-2048x1205.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PinkLadySupermod-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>While he may be slowing down a bit, that didn\u2019t stop Kenny from jumping into this furious Supermodified race at age 84. Kenny wasn\u2019t entirely comfortable with how #4U was set up so he pulled off early. Still, it was important just to get the legend back on the track. Especially since his son Davey and grandson Davey Jr (DJ) were also competing that night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Bryan\u2019s #3 had an oil leak, he didn\u2019t expect to finish and his crew didn\u2019t completely refuel the car. Oil pressure held up better than expected, but Bryan had to run the last 10 laps at less than full power. He still managed to finish 9th. That&#8217;s a great showing after starting 16th and having to throttle back to conserve methanol.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"490\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/95OnTrack-2-1-1024x490.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/95OnTrack-2-1-1024x490.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/95OnTrack-2-1-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/95OnTrack-2-1-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/95OnTrack-2-1-1536x735.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/95OnTrack-2-1-2048x980.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/95OnTrack-2-1-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Cris Muhler and #95 had an outstanding night to cap a great season. Cris started in 8th position but ground his way through the pack to finish 3rd and put one Utah car on the podium. He actually reached 2nd at one point. However, the left-rear brake rotor broke off, taking the shock and torque arm with it. #95 was throwing sparks and lacked full braking during the last laps, but Cris still managed to pull off a 3rd-place finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"548\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DaveAdamsonPushedOut-1024x548.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DaveAdamsonPushedOut-1024x548.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DaveAdamsonPushedOut-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DaveAdamsonPushedOut-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DaveAdamsonPushedOut-1536x821.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DaveAdamsonPushedOut-2048x1095.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DaveAdamsonPushedOut-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>David Adamson\u2014Supermodified<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regrettably, David Adamson, from St. George, struggled with fuel issues on the #5 Supermod all weekend.

Showdown organizer DJ Hamilton is a friend of Mike\u2019s. So when he heard about the event he decided it was time for himself and #87 to make a comeback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael did what might be described as bringing a knife to a gunfight. Specifically, he took on V-8 powered midgets pushing around 400 hp with the Honda K24 engine he used to run in the Focus Midget class. He did work with Honda Performance Development to re-tune the engine for the Showdown, getting around 300 hp for the race.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1022\" height=\"710\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MidgetSpinout2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MidgetSpinout2.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MidgetSpinout2-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MidgetSpinout2-768x534.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MidgetSpinout2-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1022px) 100vw, 1022px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo Credit: Mike Daniels<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was fun to watch Mike charging down on competitors in the corners. But then he would get noticeably out-pulled on the straightaways. Still, he held his own remarkably well\u2014starting 15th and finishing 12th\u2014by wringing every bit of performance out of #87 and staying clear of incidents.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching him, you would never guess that \u201cMad Mike\u201d hadn\u2019t raced in six years. It definitely didn\u2019t look like his driving skills have suffered much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep an eye on Michael next year.
